Product details
Overview
5KP10A-E3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional TransZORB® transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in P600 package, designed for high-energy surge protection on power rails and signal lines. It features 10 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 11.1–12.3 V breakdown voltage (VBR) at 5 mA, 5000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), 294 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and clamps to ≤17.0 V at rated surge. It is widely used in automotive power supply inputs and industrial DC bus protection.
For engineers reviewing the 5KP10A-E3/54 datasheet, 5KP10A-E3/54 pinout, 5KP10A-E3/54 application, or 5KP10A-E3/54 equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, P600 package thermal performance, clamping voltage vs. protected IC VDS(max), AEC-Q101 qualification status, and derating behavior above 25 °C ambient.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses a glass-passivated P600 chip junction optimized for fast response (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance. Its 5000 W peak pulse rating is defined under JEDEC-standard 10/1000 μs waveform with 0.01% duty cycle, enabling robust protection against lightning-induced transients and inductive switching spikes.
The device operates over -55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range and supports soldering up to 275 °C for 10 s. With 2.0 μA max reverse leakage at 10 V and 17.0 V clamping voltage at 294 A, it provides precise overvoltage limiting without compromising system standby current or downstream component stress margins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 10.0 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before conduction begins; sets minimum system rail margin for reliable non-conduction during normal operation. |
| VBR (min/max) | 11.1 V / 12.3 V at 5 mA - Breakdown threshold range defining turn-on consistency; ensures predictable clamping onset across production lots. |
| VC @ IPPM | ≤17.0 V at 294 A - Clamped voltage during full-rated surge; must be below protected MOSFET or IC absolute maximum ratings. |
| PPPM | 5000 W (10/1000 μs) - Peak energy-handling capability per transient event; determines survivability against IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges. |
| IFSM | 500 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - Non-repetitive forward surge rating; supports crowbar-style fault clearing without device failure. |
| TJ max. | +175 °C - Maximum junction temperature; enables use in under-hood automotive environments with minimal heatsinking. |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - Cathode marked by color band; suitable only for DC-biased or single-polarity protection paths. |
Pinout & Package
Package: P600 molded epoxy case with matte tin-plated leads; UL 94 V-0 rated; 9.5 mm body length; lead spacing 9.1 mm; RoHS-compliant (E3 suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side connection point | Connected to ground or return path; carries full surge current during clamping; requires low-inductance layout to minimize overshoot. |
| Cathode | High-side connection point | Marked by color band; connected to protected line (e.g., 12 V rail); defines polarity and clamping reference node. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive powertrain and chassis applications per stress test requirements including HTOL, TCT, and ESD. |
| 5000 W peak pulse power | Enables single-device protection against IEC 61000-4-5 4 kV/2 Ω combination wave without parallel staging. |
| Low clamping ratio (VC/VBR ≈ 1.45) | Minimizes overvoltage stress on downstream components while maintaining tight VBR tolerance for design margin control. |
| Fast response time (<1 ns) | Clamps before transient edge propagates into sensitive circuitry; critical for protecting fast-switching MOSFET gates and microcontroller I/O. |
| P600 thermal mass | Supports 8.0 W steady-state dissipation on infinite heatsink at TL = 75 °C; allows short-term surge energy absorption without external heatsink. |
Applications
| Automotive Power Input Protection | Industrial DC Bus Surge Suppression |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ10A | Lower PPPM (600 W), smaller SMB package, same VWM (10 V), higher VC (17.0 V at 35.2 A) | Not suitable for IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4; limited to board-level ESD/EFT where peak current <50 A | Select when space-constrained and surge energy is ≤100 mJ; verify thermal limits under repeated pulsing. |
| 5KP10CA | Same PPPM and package, but bidirectional (±10 V VWM), symmetric clamping, slightly higher VC (18.2 V) | Required for AC-coupled or floating signal lines; unsuitable for DC-biased rails due to reverse conduction path | Choose only for differential or AC applications; avoid in unidirectional power rail protection where reverse leakage must be minimized. |
Compared with SMBJ10A and 5KP10CA, the 5KP10A-E3/54 delivers 8.3× higher surge power handling in the same P600 footprint and maintains lower leakage than bidirectional variants-making it optimal for high-reliability DC power rail protection where AEC-Q101 compliance and single-polarity operation are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 5KP10A-E3/54 under full-rated surge conditions?
The 5KP10A-E3/54 clamps to a maximum of 17.0 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current of 294 A (10/1000 μs waveform). This value is measured per JEDEC standards and guarantees that protected downstream components see no more than 17.0 V during worst-case transient events, provided layout inductance is minimized and thermal conditions remain within spec.
Is the 5KP10A-E3/54 AEC-Q101 qualified?
Yes, the 5KP10A-E3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified. The HE3 suffix denotes AEC-Q101 qualification, but the E3/54 variant shares the same die and construction as the HE3 family and is covered under Vishay's AEC-Q101 certification for the 5KP series. Full qualification data is documented in Vishay's compliance reports for P600-packaged TransZORB devices.
What does the "-E3/54" suffix mean in 5KP10A-E3/54?
The "E3" suffix indicates RoHS-compliant, commercial-grade construction with JESD 201 Class 1A whisker resistance. The "/54" denotes the preferred packaging code: 13-inch diameter paper tape and reel, with 800 units per reel. This ordering format ensures consistent logistics handling and automated placement compatibility for high-volume manufacturing.
Can the 5KP10A-E3/54 be used in bidirectional signal line protection?
No, the 5KP10A-E3/54 is unidirectional only, with cathode marked by a color band. It conducts only when the cathode is positive relative to the anode. For bidirectional protection (e.g., RS-485, USB, or AC lines), the 5KP10CA variant must be used instead, which provides symmetrical clamping for both polarities.
How does thermal derating affect the 5KP10A-E3/54's surge capability above 25 °C?
The 5KP10A-E3/54's peak pulse power is derated linearly above 25 °C ambient, per Figure 2 in the datasheet: at 75 °C, it retains ~75% of rated PPPM (≈3750 W); at 125 °C, ~50% (≈2500 W). This reflects junction temperature rise during repetitive surges and must be accounted for in high-temperature enclosures or high-duty-cycle applications.
